Weekly Update 09/25/2013

General:
Blah blah blah, new development hardware, blah blah, way to much time spent re-installing. :)

Or in other words, both myself and Kawe are updating development hardware and software for most of the last week. Painful, but it should pay off in the long run. It also means I have more systems to test M.I.N.T against, and just maybe a triple boot system that just might have Linux in there somewhere..

M.I.N.T (Mecha, Infantry, and Tactics):
I've been working on tackling one of the biggest challenges that needs cleared from the board to allow steady progress. Data Formats..

Specifically how unit data is being defined along with things like equipment slots. Which also means how equipment is defined, and how bits like fire arcs for weapons are likewise defined.

Its unfortunately tricky work, since they need to be both flexible, and easily expanded given design will continue to both change and expand as development rolls on.
